Songwriting The Components of Form Form Hooks Repeating

The Components of Form Verse- The major vehicle for conveying the information of the song while leading it into the pre chorus or chorus. Pre-chorus- The climb or pre chorus set up that keeps the song sounding fresh. It usually includes a melodic shift. Chorus- Focuses the essence and meaning of the song into a simple and easily remembered statement. Also includes a melodic shift. Bridge- Helps relieve the boredom factor when people may begin to get tired of the melodic repetition.

Hooks 1. The title should appear in the chorus in a way that lets us know it’s the title. 2.Keep the information simple enough for people to remember easily. 3. They need to distill and focus the song. 4. They need to stand repetition. 5. The words of the chorus need to be easily remembered.

Repetition Repetition is the key part of learning almost anything so if you want someone to learn your song quickly you can’t afford not to use it. “Livin’ La Vida Loca” “No One” “Bidi bidi bum bum”
